Josh Fuchs, MS
Josh Fuchs completed a M.S. in Dr. Weavers group. He has a lot of love for Ohio State after spending his undergrad here earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Engineering in 2018.
Josh’s research project involved developing a design standard with Ohio EPA and Ohio AWWA for ozone and/or biofiltration installations for Ohio PWSs for treating organic contaminants. The goal of the project is to improve finished water quality in Ohio by making it easier for future water systems to install ozone and/or biofiltration by lowering the demonstration requirements for obtaining Ohio EPA Plan Approval for ozone design and installation. Ozone and biofiltration are often used simultaneously and can be used to target highly health-relevant contaminants in Ohio such as disinfection byproducts (DBPs) including trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) and also for cyanotoxins including microcystin. These treatment processes can also be used for other targets such as taste and odor compounds, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PCCPs), pesticides, color, and the multibarrier disinfection achievable with ozone. The design standard is expected to increase the familiarity of ozone and biofiltration for PWSs and is expected to be especially useful for small-to-medium PWSs in Ohio who currently have a larger barrier to installing ozone due to the cost and time associated with the current demonstration requirements for Plan Approval.
Shannon Thayer, MS
Shannon Thayer completed a Master’s degree under Dr. Weavers. She completed her bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering at Ohio State in December 2020. Her M.S. work focused on the use of ultrasonic treatment of harmful algal blooms.
